the group, now complete, were all settled around a mega table — made by pushing multiple tables together — to celebrate sunwoo, daehyun, and eric's graduation as well as mckenzie, jacob, and kevin's return from canada.
they were the only ones in the small restaurant as it had been reserved prior for them. it was actually haknyeon's family restaurant. but haknyeon had somehow forgot this was planned and was reminded earlier by his mother.
"aye y'all don't leave any mess, 'cause imma be the one to have to clean it up, sunwoo." haknyeon made a (targeted) public announcement.
offended, sunwoo put his shoulders up in defense, "i didn't even do nothing."
the group snickered and laughed before beginning to eat and breaking off into smaller conversations.
"i still can't believe you guys made it to our graduation, i was gonna be really sad," daehyun said, raising her brows.
eric nodded, his mouth full of food, "yeah, i thought you guys weren't coming back until, like, july."
"that was the original plan, but we actually finished everything we needed to do earlier than expected," jacob answered.
"so when are you guys going back?" jaehyun jumped in the conversation.
"we just got back," kevin said incredulously.
mckenzie side eyed jaehyun, "it's almost like you don't want us here." she pointed an accusatory finger at him, "see, i always knew you were a hater, hyunjae."
"yeah, i'm the biggest hater," jaehyun rolled his eyes.
as the older kids were talking, sunwoo felt a kick to his shin. he opened his mouth to exclaim but he caught sight of eric from across the table. "what?" mouthed he. eric motioned to the bottle of alcohol stationed by sunwoo's hand. immediately, sunwoo understood.
sunwoo slyly looked around to make sure everyone was distracted enough before casually, as casually as he could, moving his hand to grasp the bottle.
before he could do anything with the bottle though, his hand was slapped. "ow," sunwoo mumbled, cradling his hand.
chanhee grabbed the bottle from him. "what are you doing?" his furrowed brows and curled lip showing how much he disapproved of alcohol anywhere near sunwoo.
sunwoo scratched the back of his head and let out a nervous laugh, "oh my, ahaha, that isn't water."
"damn right." chanhee began to move every bottle of alcohol in sunwoo's reach away.
